Public-Private Partnerships are a successful and widely used
delivery mechanism for essential public assets in many parts of the
world – in the UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Europe as
well as India, Singapore and many other countries. Many thousands of
projects – from schools, healthcare and civic infrastructure to
roads, rail and other transport projects to housing and
accommodation projects - worth billions of dollars have been
successfully delivered with this model, providing cost saving
benefits to governments and the public.
 In
1996, federal legislation in the US paved the way for what would
soon become the most successful Public-Private Partnership program
in America—privatizing the design, construction , renovation,
management and maintenance of on-base military housing. The U.S.
government has successfully transferred responsibility for nearly
200,000 housing units on military bases across the country since
then—entrusting their design, development, construction, and
management to industry-leading private firms. Military families are
truly getting what they deserve—brand-new or newly renovated homes,
not to mention high-quality service in first-class communities.
The Public-Private Partnership program for military housing wasn’t
an entirely novel idea; for more than 200 years, government entities
have been collaborating with private companies to deliver such
essential services as infrastructure development, alternative
energy, and water and waste management. The size of the military
housing program did, however, serve to underscore the potential
power of the Public-Private Partnership model—its sheer ability to
solve some of the major infrastructure challenges facing the country
today.
With government agencies now severely financially strained, and with
the country facing challenges of epic proportions—be they
environmental, social, or decaying infrastructures—Public-Private
Partnerships have proven to be a valuable delivery solution for
issues ranging from educational and municipal needs, to
transportation needs, workforce housing and renewable energy.
Few companies have the experience or the financial capability
to undertake the next generation of Public-Private Partnership
projects. Balfour Beatty Capital Group has both.
Superior Public-Private Partnership programs require deep
experience, proven ability, and unwavering commitment, and that’s
precisely what we, at Balfour Beatty Capital Group, bring to our
